Safe Traveling with your Infant and Toddler

Hook-on Chairs

Hook-on chairs are used as substitutes for high chairs and are attached to the edge of a table. The Commission has reports of children either falling out of these chairs or dislodging the chair from the table.

Safety Tips

1. Do not place the chair where the child's feet can reach table supports, benches, or chairs, to push off from and dislodge the chair from the table.

2. The restraining straps should be easy to use and always fastened around the child when in the chair.

3. After clamping the chair to the table, check its security by pulling backwards on the chair.

4. Don't leave a child unattended.

5. Never use hook-on chairs on glass top, single pedestal or unstable tables.
